Links

The prime source of information about JDF is the CIP4 web site.

The XML coverpages also have an extensive page that discusses JDF. It is a boring read but there are quite a few useful links in the article.

Books

Bridg’s JDF guide for Managers is a useful booklet which I read some time ago.

There are tons of white papers about JDF available:

• White papers on the CIP4 site
• Understanding JDF by Agfa
• On the open road to CIM with JDF by EFI
• The importance of preflighting with JDF by Markzware
• The global impact of JDF on the graphic communications industry by the Electronic Document Systems foundation

Forums and newsgroups

PrintPlanet hosts a JDF forum for CIP4. Unfortunately it hardly generates any traffic.
